Huawei P30 review

What do you get when you replace the periscope camera of a Huawei P30 Pro with a conventional, shorter tele lens? The Huawei P30 non-Pro, of course.

Standout design, eye-catching colors options.

No proper dust and water resistance.

All things considered, however, the P30 doesn't really come off as a lesser phone than the Pro. Sure, it may not be as fully tricked out as its bigger brother, but it's got battery life which most competitors can't match and a versatile triple camera...

Huawei P30

The Huawei P30 is an impressive smartphone, but you won't be getting it in the US anytime soon and there are strong options for the price.

Powerful. Impressive camera. Hidden fingerprint scanner.

Not available in the US. Bloated EMUI. Dull screen.

Much like the P30 Pro, the P30 is an impressive phone. However, competition is far tougher in the midrange than it is at the top. For just a little more money, you can pick up the OnePlus 7 Pro, which has a completely notchless screen, a better camera,...

Huawei P30 review: The P30 Pro’s fantastic photos for less

The Huawei P30 has many of the P30 Pro's strengths and is several hundred bucks cheaper.

Huawei's P30 is a gorgeous phone with an astonishing camera setup. Its battery life is exceptional and the phone sells for a reasonable price.

Power output by the Kirin 980 processor is good but not great, and the P30 lacks the premium feel of the P30 Pro. Huawei's EMUI take on Android remains a cut below pure Android, iOS and even Samsung's One UI.

The Huawei P30 offers you a best-in-class camera setup and a terrific design while commanding a smaller price than the Samsung Galaxy S10, or even the S10E. It's a fantastic deal, but a hassle to buy thanks to geopolitics.

Huawei P30 Review

Huawei shocked the industry with P30 Pro and its super-zoom camera, but there is one more phone that flies under the radar: the smaller regular P30 model is cheaper yet just as powerful...

Beautiful design, solid construction; Very good battery life; Smooth performance; Fast charging on board; Much better in-screen fingerprint scanner

Screen quality is good, but not great; Photos have bleak colors; EMUI has its quirks, no quick pull-down for notifications, etc; Disappointing loudspeaker quality; New nanoSD cards required here are hard to come by; No 4K60 video option; No warranty if...

Huawei P30 Review - Better Than the P30 Pro? - Gizmochina

It seems that no one is talking about the Huawei P30 – a slimmed down version of the P30 Pro. The phone is significantly cheaper, more compact and it even has some advantages over its bigger brother. For example, it has a headphone jack and the phone...

Huawei’s P30 and P30 smartphones are full of camera features

Huawei's newest smartphones feature big screens, small selfie-camera notches, and slim bezels. But the most interesting things about the and are on the back of the phones: each has a 3-camera system that Huawei says can snap excellent photos in...

Interestingly the P30 has a headphone jack, while the P30 Pro does not… but the P30 Pro does have an IR blaster if that’s something you’re looking for.

Hands on with the Huawei P30: sometimes less really is more | AndroidPIT

Is bigger always better? In the case of the new Huawei P30 series, the smaller model really seems to be the better choice.

If the P30 Pro is too big, too expensive and packs too much zoom for you, the Huawei P30 is an attractive alternative. Compared to last year's P20 series, the two P30 models share the same main camera sensor, so that the photos taken with it are...

Huawei P30 Review: A fantastic Android smartphone

Huawei P30 Review: The regular P30 doesn't match the P30 Pro's camera tech, but it's still well worth a look if you're an Android fan

Great design ; Solid battery life ; Above average camera

Full of bloatware

The Huawei P30 doesn't match the P30 Pro when it comes to camera performance, but if fares surprisingly well everywhere else. The phone has a premium design that gives key rivals, like the Galaxy S10 a run for its money. Under the hood it has great...
